The Penny War is a competition to raise money for people in need of loans all over the world. The rules of the contest are to get as many pennies in your grades' jar as possible. If you put in any silver coins or dollars in any jar, that jar loses points. A quarter loses 25 points, a nickel would lose 5, a dime would lose 10 points and a dollar would lose 100 points each. Whichever grade that has the most pennies will win a school spirit day! We hope you support communities in need by taking part in this program.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />THE CLOONAN KIVA CLUB!!!</div>Jim Fordenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586164499257619935.post-60139056854642183812014-11-24T04:14:00.000-08:002014-11-24T04:14:54.070-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Cloonan Kiva Club&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K1jglPNtMBQ/VG-b7vvoJuI/AAAAAAAADEs/4Md3em4tgFo/s1600/kivafood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K1jglPNtMBQ/VG-b7vvoJuI/AAAAAAAADEs/4Md3em4tgFo/s400/kivafood.jpg" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thank you all the students who helped out for the Cloonan food drive! The Cloonan Kiva Club loaded more than 650 cans and food onto the food drive truck! This year was a great year for the food drive. As we think of how Mr. Claps had to tragically leave Cloonan Middle School, we are still continuing with the Trap The Claps project. Instead of trapping Mr. Claps, We are now planning on trapping Mr. Serifino! The project will go on. Also, some of the members of the club had the chance to experience the new 3D printer in the room. Over all the Kiva Club had a huge success in this weeks meeting. To sum it all up, the Kiva Club Loaded more than 650 cans into the food drive truck, went on with the Trap the Claps project, and finally discovered a 3D printer. Therefore, the Kiva Club had a great week.<br /><br /></div></div>Jim Fordenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586164499257619935.post-83023234945618476382014-11-07T17:33:00.001-08:002014-11-07T17:33:59.121-08:00Balloon Car STEM project!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5B0-yuIEG-k/VF1zAHtyhtI/AAAAAAAADBg/y0mi5jWJOWg/s640/blogger-image-1722528452.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5B0-yuIEG-k/VF1zAHtyhtI/AAAAAAAADBg/y0mi5jWJOWg/s640/blogger-image-1722528452.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-caIefcZwKfc/VF1y-wktozI/AAAAAAAADBQ/O0m6d5VDjI0/s640/blogger-image-1485193357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-caIefcZwKfc/VF1y-wktozI/AAAAAAAADBQ/O0m6d5VDjI0/s640/blogger-image-1485193357.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aaBT8GmWtTM/VF1zBWwthWI/AAAAAAAADBw/a6ZICqwYFnQ/s640/blogger-image-1160927308.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aaBT8GmWtTM/VF1zBWwthWI/AAAAAAAADBw/a6ZICqwYFnQ/s640/blogger-image-1160927308.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L_AgJVrps-U/VF1zAjPUgvI/AAAAAAAADBo/lbBDbKS00cU/s640/blogger-image-1900740098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L_AgJVrps-U/VF1zAjPUgvI/AAAAAAAADBo/lbBDbKS00cU/s640/blogger-image-1900740098.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xPpgavEfClc/VF1y_dT7L8I/AAAAAAAADBY/BSVuxSoF5DY/s640/blogger-image-1959815472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xPpgavEfClc/VF1y_dT7L8I/AAAAAAAADBY/BSVuxSoF5DY/s640/blogger-image-1959815472.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Jim Fordenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586164499257619935.post-47184691545717125442014-11-07T11:58:00.001-08:002014-11-07T12:15:20.002-08:0011/7 meeting!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today we are working on the jail for TRAP Mr.Claps, and making more posters. &nbsp;We will be locking Mr.Claps in a jail to help raise money for Kiva.
